Ateneum Publications Vol. 132. Helsinki: Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum, 2020, 31–45 In 1909, the Italian poet and founder of the Futurist movement, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti famously declared, ‘[w]e will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind’.1 He compared museums to cemeteries, ‘[i]dentical, surely, in the sinister promiscuity of so many bodies unknown to one another… where one lies forever beside hated or unknown beings’. This comparison of the museum with the cemetery has often been cited as an indication of the Futurists’ radical rejection of traditional institutions. It certainly made these institutions look dead. With habitual hyperbole Marinetti claimed: ‘We stand on the last promontory of the centuries!… Why should we look back […]? Time and Space died yesterday.’ The brutal breathlessness of Futurist thinking rejected all notions of a history of art.

  • Bernheimer – Colnaghi Announce Their Collection Being Exhibited at TEFAF, Maastricht, 7 – 16 March 2008. Submitted By: Cassleton Elliott Thursday, 14 February 2008
    Bernheimer – Colnaghi announce their collection being exhibited at TEFAF, Maastricht, 7 – 16 March 2008. Submitted by: Cassleton Elliott Thursday, 14 February 2008 Among the highlights of the Bernheimer-Colnaghi stand at TEFAF, Maastricht, is Lucas Cranach the Elder’s Aristotle and Phyllis. The humiliation of the Greek philosopher Aristotle was one of the most powerful and popular pictorial examples of the theme of Weibermacht or the ‘Power of Women’. Aristotle is said to have admonished one of his students (traditionally identified as Alexander the Great) for paying too much attention to Phyllis, a woman of the court. She got her revenge by seducing the philosopher and persuading him to allow her to ride on his back in return for the promise of sexual favours. The picture can be linked to a group of paintings of similar subjects warning against the dangers of women painted by Cranach some of the earliest of which were commissioned for the bedchamber of prince Johann of Saxony in 1513. First published in 2003, the Colnaghi picture is a significant recent addition to the Cranach oeuvre. The Guardroom with Monkeys painted a century later by David Teniers II (Antwerp 1610-1690 Brussels) exposes another aspect of human folly: warfare. Monkeys wearing soldiers’ uniforms are grouped around tables, playing cards and back-gammon, one wearing a terracotta pot on his head, another a pewter funnel in place of a helmet, while on the right a cat has been taken prisoner and is escorted through the doorway by a group of monkey soldiers brandishing halberdiers. Despite the humour, there is a serious underlying message about the folly of war at a time when for most of the seventeenth century the Netherlands were occupied by troops.

Zahlreiche Künstlergrößen gingen daraus hervor, die die süddeut- sche Kunstlandschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts nachhaltig prägten. Doch hatte diese Einrichtung ihre Vorgeschichte, die weit in das 18. Jahrhundert, noch vor die 1770 durch Kurfürst Maximilian III.

Die Geschichte dieser älteren Institution ist, anders als die der spä- teren, nur unzureichend erforscht.

  • RAPHAEL VRBINAS 1520 – 2020 (Intro) Raphael Celebrated The
    RAPHAEL VRBINAS 1520 – 2020 (Intro) Raphael celebrated the greatest success with his art in Rome where he died 500 years ago. The many panel paintings and wall frescoes that he managed to complete there in little more than a decade have secured his international fame to this day – especially the painting of the so-called Stanze in the Vatican Palace and large altar paintings such as the Sistine Madonna. Raffaelo Sanzio, who was born in 1483, started his career, however, in Umbria and Tuscany. It is uncertain whether he completed his apprenticeship in the workshop of his father, who worked as a painter in Urbino, or under PIETRO PERUGINO in Perugia. He doubtlessly showed exceptional technical skill as a painter at an early age and ambitiously modelled his works on those of prominent colleagues such as Perugino, Pinturicchio and Signorelli. Between 1504 and 1508 Raphael remained mostly in Florence and explored Leonardo da Vinci’s and Michelangelo’s spectacular creations in his compositions. He also used his sound knowledge of FRA BARTOLOMMEO’s works equally masterfully for his own pictorial inventions. In this way he upheld his position among Florentine painters and attracted significant commissions for private devotional paintings, several portraits and an altar painting. This exhibition is devoted to Raphael’s depiction of the Holy Family commissioned by a Florentine merchant. As the painter of pictures of sublime beauty Raphael attained cult status in the 19th century, in particular. Ludwig I of Bavaria and his gallery director, Johann Georg von Dillis, revered him as the ‘king of painting’. The 500th anniversary of Raphael’s death provides an occasion to recall the history of his fame and to reflect on the extent his works influenced the pictorial language of the western world in the modern period.

Empirical Studies of Nature Neither in the Romantic nor in the classical and idealis­ Friedrich Wilhelm Schelling, visual art stands 'as an tic view of art can the empirical Nature study be an end active bond between the soul and Nature, and can be in itself. Even when painted in oils, it does not constitute grasped only in the living middle between the two'. Any an autonomous work of art. There are several reasons one-sided concentration on the 'soul' too easily becomes for this. According to classical principles, the mere imi­ shallow; conversely, a mere imitation of Nature misses tation of Nature is inartistic: the work becomes art only the essence of the thing depicted, producing a dead when the natural prototype is purged of contingent indi­ image. Science, says Schelling, approaches Nature by viduality, by reference either to an absolute idea that endless laborious degrees; art can reach its goal at a dwells in the artist himself or to an absolute artistic single bound. Art grasps the essence of Nature by bringing norm sanctified by tradition. Nature study forms part of out what is characteristic. This can be done neither by the artist's training, but from the outset he aspires to beauty of form alone nor by the 'empty shell or demar­ leave this transitional stage behind him and to graduate cation of individuality'. Art discerns the eternal arche­ to the highest form of art, the exemplary history piece, type within the individual form, 'and he who has defined by ideal form in perfect harmony with the abso­ grasped the essence must not fear hardness and rigour: lute validity of the action shown.

  • Alte Pinakothek Press Information Raphael 1520–2020 Collection Presentation to Mark the 500Th Anniversary of Raphael's Death
    ALTE PINAKOTHEK PRESS INFORMATION RAPHAEL 1520–2020 COLLECTION PRESENTATION TO MARK THE 500TH ANNIVERSARY OF RAPHAEL’S DEATH IN THE FLORENTINE ROOM, 1ST FLOOR, ROOM IV ALTE PINAKOTHEK Raphael celebrated the greatest success with his art in Rome where he died 500 years ago. The many panel paintings and wall frescoes that he managed to complete there in little more than a decade have secured his international fame to this day. As the painter of pictures of sublime beauty Raphael attained cult status in the 19th century, in particular. Ludwig I of Bavaria and his gallery director, Johann Georg von Dillis, revered him as the ‘king of painting’. The 500th anniversary of Raphael’s death provides an occasion to recall the history of his fame and to reflect on the extent his works influenced the pictorial language of the western world in the modern period. For this reason, an early, major work by the great master, the so-called Canigiani Holy Family, forms the focal point of the Florentine Room at the Alte Pinakothek, the foundation stone of which was laid in 1826 on Raphael’s birthday. This focussed collection presentation with five works from the Alte Pinakothek, including two devotional pictures by Raphael, places the Canigiani Holy Family in dialogue with a painting by Friedrich Overbeck from the Neue Pinakothek and a loan from the Bayerische Schlösserverwaltung – a porcelain picture by Christian Adler. Together with an altar painting by Pietro Perugino and a work by Fra Bartolommeo the selection draws attention to the fact that the career of the artist, born Raffaelo Sanzio in Urbino in 1483, had its beginnings in Umbria and Tuscany.
